The Instructions

Levin's first novel gained a great deal of early buzz after being selected by Powell's Indiespensable Book Club[1] and The Rumpus Book Club[2].

Early reviews have drawn comparisons between David Foster Wallace and Levin[3]. Many reviewers praise the dark humor, the depth of the setting, and the commentary on Jewish identity. Some reviewers criticize the book's length; others praise it. [4] [5] [6][7] [8].

Hot Pink

Levin's next book Hot Pink is a collection of his short stories and is set to be released in 2012[9].
